I am taking over as head coach with my current program where I am assistant. We do not have a booster club, and so the coaches have organized finances in the past. The current system the head coach had a business account with Wells Fargo, where all the cheer money went and I was a signed/had access to the debit card.
We closed that count, on the premise that I would open a new one (we tried signing it over to me but can't since she has to go to the state with the "business" name or something like that).
Moving forward, I am trying to cover my bases. Obviously I will be honorable and open with the account and not abuse it, but I want to cover my bases so I am not at risk for liability here since we have not yet hired an assistant and it will just be me with access to the account.
What does your school use? Is your AD signed on the account? Just coaches? I just don't see how this is appropriate since there is no oversight set up by a third party, and technically as a coach I could potentially abuse the access. Help!
